This topic has been covered a lot, but even after studying the manual and all the Forum threads, and tweaking every dial in Axe-Edit, I'm still not clear on one point: getting a long strong sustain just on occasional single notes.
I understand that compression squeezes the overall hi and lo volume, but this can kind of flatten out the whole sound. But I'm only interested in sustaining an occasional single note for as long as possible. (I understand that amp and gain volume etc helps get sustain, but i'm just focusing here on using the Axe). So for example if I use INFINITY ratio in Studio Comp to get a strong boost to keep a tone sustaining, it also limits the overall volume, even with the Makeup switch ON.
So how can I get a real strong sustain on occasional long notes, ie, boosting a decaying signal, without squeezing the overall volume with compression throughout the whole song?
